About the Winery
"Naonis", pronounced "now knees" is named after the ancient Roman name for our hometown of Pordenone in Friuli. Established in 1931 as Cantina Sociale Cooperative Destra Tagliamento, the Viticoltori Frilani La Delizia is family owned and is the largest wine-making facility in the Friuli Region. La Delizia consists of 500 wine growers with 2000 hectares of vineyards that extend throughout the Friuli plain, within the renowned "Friuli Grave" and "Prosecco" D.O.C.areas. These are areas historically dedicated to viticulture and to the production of wines with a strong identity and character.
Friuli
Friuli is in the far northeast corner of Italy, bounded by the borders with Austria and Slovenia to the north and east respectively. The region is best known for its white wine production, which accounts for 77 percent of wine produced in the region. In terms of terroir, the most important influence on Friuli's vineyards is their position between the Alps and the Adriatic. The mountainous topography in the north and east lifts many vineyards above the low-lying cloud that is sometimes trapped between the hills and the coast. This allows the vines to bask in bright sunshine without overheating, allowing the grapes to develop full phenolic ripeness and aromatic depth before their sugar levels peak. Lower down and closer to the coast, maritime conditions moderate the diurnal temperature variation and create more stable, reliable weather, offering local vineyardists the luxury of choice in their terroir. source: wine-searcher.com

Prosecco Brut NV
88
The NV Brut Prosecco Naonis wafts up with a spicy blend of fresh ginger, tart apple and dried flowers. It's softly textured with a surprising burst of inner sweetness that betrays its savory bouquet as soothing bubbles give way to hints of candied citrus. Hints of sour melon and spice linger through the medium-length finale. This is interesting but needs to be more cohesive.

BEST BUY! Puffs of candied lemon peel, lilac and pear define the nose of this fresh Prosecco. Focused and vibrant on the palate with tart green apple flavors quickly followed by a crushed gravel mineral note that is expanded across the palate by the tight perlage of the wine.

Dried flowers, lemon zest and apricots lift from the 2020 Extra Dry Rose Prosecco. This presents a pretty inner sweetness nicely contrasted by crisp acidity and tart orchard fruits while becoming fairly perfumed through the finale. Green apple and candied lime echo throughout.

The NV Prosecco Brut is fresh and inviting, with a whiff of white smoke and sweet spice giving way to crushed apples. It splashes across the palate with balanced inner sweetness contrasted by hints of ground ginger as notes of apricot swirl across a stream of juicy acidity. This finishes long and perfumed, leaving a slight saline tinge and nuances of candied lemon.

Prosecco Rose Extra Dry NV

The NV Extra Dry Rose Prosecco Naonis is floral yet understated in the glass. The splashes across the palate with a bead of silken bubbles propelled by vibrant acidity as a burst of tropical melon and sweet spice makes an appearance toward the close. It finishes a bit short with a hint of licorice that lingers.

Prosecco Rose Extra Dry 2023

The 2023 Extra Dry Rosé Prosecco opens with a tropical bouquet, where sour melon and kiwi are elevated by sweet mint and hints of spice. A silken wave of fine bubbles and ripe orchard fruits create a soothingly round palate, elevated by a burst of candied citrus toward the close. The 2023 finishes beautifully, crisp and long, with echoes of nectarine and grapefruit that maintain a lovely inner tension.
